Betsy & I have begun volunteering with a hippotherapy program provided on here Okinawa by a group consisting primarily of Betsy's therapist coworkers at EDIS. Betsy provides her expertise with pediatric physical therapy & Josh helps make sure the young folks do not fall to their death (on the rare occasion that they do lose their balance) as well as helping out with care & handling of the horses (that means he knows how to shovel horse manure now - nice resume builder, huh?). Here are some photos that we have snapped with our phones when out at the stables:

Occasionally one of us gets the opportunity to actually get up on a horse which is quite fun. It reminds Josh of his adolescent days spending too much allowance money & odd-job earnings on the horses at Ashari's Ranch in Curacao (especially his favorite, "Flaco y Feo," who lived up to the name but was favored for his eagerness to gallop for any or no reason at all). Here is a cell phone video of Betsy getting lead around the yard atop of often feisty mare Pepper:
